Default XBox 360

Does anyone here like XBox 360? I have one and I think it is great. I especially like Ghost Recon games. Currently I am thrashing apart Advanced Warfighter 2. My wife lets me play 4 hours a week.

Do you let your boys play, or do they have better things to do? How many hours do they get?

I've been trying to ween myself off it lately. I have a commercial check ride coming up in a week and I'm definitely spending too much time on the 360. Rainbow Six Vegas on Live is amazing with the custom characters you can create. One of my friends is on his 360 about 6 hours a day. He has no life.....

My boys protest but I do not let them play at all. A friend of mine has an XBox 360 as well and he will play sports games with his kids but not let them free play. I am considering that. For now though it is all mine.

I spent most of spring break building a play structure that my wife bought at Costco. The kids play on that.

360 is a lot of fun. Since we have so many small kids most of our recreation is limited to the property. In the winter XBox is great to have. .

I'm still living in the world of Super Smash Brothers on N64. My PS2 broke so it's what I've had to resort to.

I don't have one, but have demoed one at the store. The best game ever was some "classic" game included with the gee-whiz game called "Geometry Wars." Basically, you're a little shape trying to shoot about a million other shapes at once, 'til they get you. Awesome!

Other than that, I'm still playing the same NES that I got for Christmas when I was 5. The games that are on the new systems (with the exception of the Wii, which is amazing) are way too complicated and take a lot of time to master, from my experience.

Wasn't that once called Asteroids?
